A bassoon has exactly a three octave range. The range extends from a low B-flat below the bass clef staff, the B-flat-1 on a piano, and goes up to the B-flat-4 above middle C.

How do you play loud on a bassoon?

Playing "loud" on the bassoon is all about air support, a good embouchure, and a good reed. You can't play loud if any of them are missing. Typically when bassoon players play loud they want to drop their jaw which causes them to go flat, especially on the low notes, so be sure not to do much change to your embouchure. Loud on the bassoon is mainly caused by air support. A good air stream with plenty of pressure and wind will cause you to play "loud" on the bassoon.

How is the bassoon usually used in different styles of music?

Bassoon are used in many different types of music, but often do not have the melody. They can do rock and soft rock (if you can move your fingers fast), and slow whole note songs. But throughout these different types, the bassoon does not usually have the melody, and instead holds whole notes or has a lot of half notes. This is all based on my experience with the bassoon, it may vary for you.
